One could go on and on about the ways in which Fancis bounces from expression to expression, often ripping into a soulful cry before sinking into a whisper (give the standout "Built to Last" a try). His rambling lyrics drop facts, allusions, secrets, and tall-tales with equal earnestness and we're not sure whether to believe all of it or none of it. The sheer excitement his stories offer sprints arm-in-arm with the sparkling guitars with an incredibly balanced, energetic effect."

Say Matte
Six Gallery Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's more than obvious,
I feel as though I might have let you down.
I'll trade you more for less.
I'll ask, you'll tell, it's done.

Just leave me be.

Sit, watch it turn to dust,

the monument we made.
Expect with murderous
response the sighs and shame.

Just leave me be.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Six Gallery's song Say Matte seem to express feelings of guilt and remorse. The singer believes that they have let someone down and are willing to make up for it by offering more than what's required, even if it means losing something themselves. They seem to accept their mistake and are ready to face the consequences of it. The chorus of the song emphasizes the melancholic and introspective mood with the repeated plea to be left alone.

The second half of the lyrics describe the destruction of a monument that the singer and someone else made together. The tone shifts from guilt to anger as they expect a furious reaction from the other person. The line "expect with murderous response the sighs and shame" suggests that the other person will not only be angry but also disappointed and ashamed. Despite this, the singer still wants to be left alone, perhaps to deal with their emotions and thoughts of the situation.

Overall, the song appears to be about the consequences of one's actions and how they can affect relationships. It expresses the feelings of guilt and anger that come with making a mistake and the need for solitude to process those emotions.
